Ah man! I JUST bought a JLT CAI. Haven't even opened the box yet. Now I'm mad cause I coulda waited. Bah.
Tim, I see you have the upgraded wrap-around heat shield for the RAI. Can you tell me please, how much of a 'seal' does that make to the fender opening? I haven't really found any solid statements regarding that, just that it's 'better'. Like many of us, I waffled back and forth between CAI and RAI and finally went with CAI. But if that newer heat shield does a good job of truly blocking engine bay air, and letting/forcing it to suck in air from the fender hole, I might rethink my decision yet again...

Oh and PS, to continue from another thread, it's 69 degree here today, I got to drive to work with the top down

As I say, even if it only gained half that much at the wheels it is still as much rwhp per dollar as the other bolt on mods we put on our cars ($50 per rwhp).
JLT did not gain any additional rwhp with the new CAI vs their original design, but as you can see, the appearance and fit is greatly improved.
I saw my buddy's new CAI which Jay gave him for free in return for lending his Bullitt to the test session. It is a very nice looking piece!!!

I spoke with my buddy again regarding the testing he participated in at JLT a couple of weeks ago. He had a bone stock '01 Bullitt with only a K&N filter. His car gained 9rwhp at the peak and gained 12-14rwhp at some other rpms.

So a car making 442rwhp only gained 2rwhp and 9rwtq from their $280 intake? Imagine the power a non FI car, such as a N/A 2v, wouldn't make from the JLT "next generation" intake. Plus it costs you the price of a custom tune on top of the intake to get 5-8rwhp.
They paying you to advertise these Tim or did they give you the intakes for free? lol

You said within the past two days on a different thread...
"The car comes with a cai. Buying a new one does NOTHING, but make your wallet lighter! If you don't want that money, I accept personal checks and paypal."
I'm confused by the new interest in the JLT CAI, from your post on a different thread, you said a CAI does nothing except lighten your wallet... maybe trying to learn by listening
